5 Minute Freewrite: Stick

in #freewrite8 years ago (edited)

Find the prompt here!

Stick. Stick it to 'em. Speak softly and carry a big stick. Who said that? Eisenhower? Some dead president. Shpeak softly and carry a big shtick. That's a quote from Mutts comics. I tried to find that particular strip the other day. I wanted to post a pic of Lochlan carrying a stick side by side with the image of that comic, of Mooch from Mutts carrying a big stick, but I couldn't find it. Stick. Hope it sticks. Stick stick stick. When I first read the prompt, I thought it said sick. Stick. Stick. Sticky situation. Stick stick stick stick. S'tick. Tick. Tick tock. Stick. Stick. Stick. Stick. Stick. Stick. Our child really enjoyed that stick, the one I took a picture of him holding. I wonder if it's still there. I don't know why it would disappear, unless some other child took a liking to it, too, and took it home with them. Or a dog. Our dog has never been a stick dog. He's a ball dog. Wood. This table is made of wood and part of it broke off and now it's a bit rough on my arms. We need to find someone who works with wood furniture and get it fixed, and the bed that fell apart. The heat this summer did a number on these old wood pieces of furniture. Stick. Stick 'em up. Stick. I just checked the timer (because sometimes it doesn't go off) and there were 5 seconds left.

Hey, @stinawog.

As you hint at in your usage of tags, very random thoughts about mutts and sticks. :)

It's amazing how free association will take you in different directions. A stick, something that can stick to a wall, stick to it. Anyway, you made it with time to spare. :)

You didn't happen to go looking for the stick did you?

re: speak softly...

Theodore Roosevelt is the dead president you're looking for. About 50 years before Eisenhower became president, give or take a few.

No, kiddo was in bed already at time of writing! We'll have to go stick hunting tomorrow.

Ah, Roosevelt, that's right. I knew that when I was searching for the comic, which I can't believe I couldn't easily find. Maybe I'm spelling Mooch's signature lisp wrong.

Thank you for reading!!
